Ovarian serous borderline tumor, micropapillary serous borderline tumor, and low-grade serous carcinoma often show a spectrum of histologic components with increasing epithelial proliferation and papillary complexity from flat cyst wall, hierarchical structures (with primary papillae branching into secondary papillae), micropapillae, and invasive carcinoma. Although tremendous research has been carried out to elucidate the causes of these tumors, the pathogenesis remains unclear. Literature has described...
